Ingol, Ashton and Cottam was said to be held by a 

 rent of 2*. 68 A pedigree was recorded in 1 6 1 3 , 69 and 

 William Haydock died on 4 

 August 1624 seised of the 

 manor of Cottam, a water- 

 mill, three messuages, lands, 

 &c, in Cottam, lngol, 

 Ashton, French Lea and 

 Freckleton, held of the king 

 as of his duchy, and in Wood- 

 plumpton, held of Sir Robert 

 Banastre. 70 



The interest of the family 

 is mainly religious. William 

 Haydock, said to be a brother 

 of the Gilbert of 1529-42, 

 was a monk of Whalley, and executed there on 

 12 March 1536-7 for complicity in the Pilgrimage 

 of Grace. 71 Ewan Haydock, left a widower in 

 1 5 5 7, was strengthened in his constancy to Roman 

 Catholicism by the company of William (afterwards 

 Cardinal) Allen, a relative by marriage, and in 1573 

 went over to Douay with one or two of his sons,

and in 1575 was ordained priest and sent on the 

 English mission, dying at Mowbreck in 1581. 72 His 

 son George, educated at Douay and the English 

 College, Rome, was ordained priest, and in 1582 

 returned to England. He was almost immediately 

 betrayed to the government, and after two years' 

 imprisonment was executed as a traitor at Tyburn, 

 12 February 1583-4. 73 Richard Haydock, an elder 

 brother of George, was ordained priest at Douay in 

 1577. In 1582 it was reported that he was with 

 his brother at Cottam Hall or else at Mowbreck. 

 After ten years of missionary labour, during which he 

 is said to have been imprisoned, he returned to Rome, 

 and had the titular dignity of Dean of Dublin. He 

 died at Rome in 1605. 74 William Haydock, the 

 eldest brother, was punished for his recusancy in 

 various ways. 76 The family appear to have escaped 

 molestation during the Commonwealth period, 76 but 

 William Haydock of Cottam is traditionally said to 

 have taken part in the Jacobite rising of 171 5 ; he 

 died soon afterwards. 77 The manor of Cottam, how- 

 ever, passed to a relative, and eventually became the 

 property of the Crosses of Red Scar in Grimsargh. 78 



In 1422 Martin V granted a dispensa- 

 tion for the marriage of Gilbert Haydock 

 with Isabel daughter of William Hoghton, 

 they being related in the fourth degree ; 

 Towneley MS. HH, no. 938. Gilbert 

 was living in 1459, wnen he and his sons, 

 Richard, William and Henry, were in the 

 guild ; Preston Guild R. 12. Gilbert's 

 widow, (here called Elizabeth) took the 

 mantle and ring on 10 Feb. 1466—7 ; 

 HH, no. 977. His son Richard was dead 

 in 1475, when Isabel Haydock, widow, 

 was distrained to answer to William Hay- 

 dock for waste, &c, in lands in Cottam

William Haydock died in 1494, leaving 

 a son and heir Gilbert, about fifteen years 

 of age ; his tenement in Cottam and 

 Ingol was stated to be held of the king as 

 duke by the seventh part of a knight's 

 fee ; Duchy Plead. (Rec. Soc. Lanes, and 

 Ches.), i, 8. The heir's wardship was 

 granted to Cuthbert Clifton ; Kuerden

In the latter part of the 15th century 

 the family of Haydock of Heysandforth 

 in Burnley branched off from that seated 

 at Cottam.

 Eleanor was widow of Richard Haydock,

In 1529 William Clifton of Westby 

 granted Gilbert Haydock of Cottam and 

 his son Richard two-thirds of the tithe 

 corn of Warton in Kirkham ; Huntroyde

 his sons Henry, Cuthbert, Richard and 

 Edmund were in the Preston guild ; also 

 Ewan and Richard sons of William Hay- 

 dock, which William was (according to 

 the pedigree of 1 613) the son of Gilbert ;

 Haydock and his sons William, Richard, 

 Ewan and George entered, as also John 

 son of Ewan's uncle Henry ; ibid. 26-7.

 daughters — Elizabeth Cartmel, Bridget 

 Hothersall, Mary Hayhurst and Katherine 

 Wall — all of full age, and his grandson 

 Robert Adamson son of another daughter 

 Ellen. The inquisition recites a settle- 

 ment made shortly before William's death, 

 by which Robert Haydock of Whitting- 

 ham, elder son of Cuthbert Haydock, was 

 made heir, but a portion was assigned to 

 the Adamsons. 



There were several Cuthberts, as appears 

 by the Preston Guild R. The father of the 

 new owner of Cottam seems to have been 

 a son of Henry, one of the younger sons 

 of Gilbert Haydock (1529-42) j informa- 

 tion of Mr. J. Gillow.

 230—1. 'His body, for some unknown 

 reason, was allowed to continue suspended 

 on the gibbet entire, and ultimately was 

 secured and secretly removed by his nephew 

 and namesake to Cottam Hall. In Lanca- 

 shire he was generally looked upon as a 

 martyr, and his remains were treated with 

 the greatest veneration by the Haydock 

 family.' 



72 Ibid, iii, 202—4. The government 

 had tried to arrest him, but he had 

 managed to keep free. There is a refer- 

 ence to him as a fugitive beyond the seas 

 without licence in Lanes, and Ches. Rec. 

 (Rec. Soc. Lanes, and Ches.), ii, 342. 



73 Gillow, op. cit. iii, 205-11. He was 

 executed for being ordained priest beyond 

 the seas and for conspiring to effect the 

 queen's death. There was no evidence of 

 the latter part of the charge, of which 

 Haydock asserted his innocence. The 

 judge who condemned him was Sir William 

 Fleetwood, the Recorder of London.

 Haydock of Eaves, in Woodplumpton, 

 granted that messuage to Cuthbert Hay- 

 dock of Cottam j Huntroyde D., C 5, 4. 

 Robert Haydock had a brother Richard 

 of Fulwood ; ibid. C 6. Cuthbert Hay- 

 dock seems to have succeeded by 1660 

 and William Haydock by 1676 ; ibid. C 9,

78 Ibid. ; it is stated that the last William 

 Haydock, whose brothers were priests, had 

 settled the manor on his sister Dorothy, 

 who married George son of John Shuttle- 

 worth of Hodsock Park, Notts. George 

 Haydock, cousin of William, in 1730 

 conveyed his interest in the manor to 

 George Farington of Worden, in trust 

 for Henry son of Valentine Farington of 

 Preston. The Faringtons sold the manor, 

 or their part of it, about the end of the 

 1 8th century. There is a reference to 

 William Haydock in Lanes, and Ches.
